Stay

XV.

Three months later

It has been four months since the last time Jennie saw Rosé, and four months since the blonde left. It was the first week of May, a Friday. Jennie, accompanied by her secretary and new found friend Doyeon, went to see the marriage counselor.

"It's your last day of therapy, today. I just wanna let you know that I am so proud of you, I know Lisa and Jisoo are too." Doyeon smiled, squeezing Jennie's hands.

Jennie couldn't help but smile at Doyeon's genuineness, the tall black haired girl has been with her all throughout the hard times, she's even there for her when she was out of reality most of the time, and helped her focus more on work.

When Jisoo and Lisa were not around to comfort or accompany her, Doyeon was there and treated her well. Jennie was thankful to have gained a new friend like Doyeon, for she's not only a kind and effective secretary but also a good listener and a great friend.

Although at first, the brunette knew that she was only there for her because she liked her, but after she had made it known to the tall girl that she is still married, that she loves her wife and that she isn't looking for someone to replace her Rosie, the latter still stayed.

"Are you sure you don't want me to wait for you? You said it'll only take you a couple of minutes, I could stay and wait if you want." Doyeon offered, but Jennie was kind enough to decline.

"No, it's okay. I was thinking of driving around after. I had the company driver, drive my car over." She smiled and unbuckled her seat belt.

"Thank you for always accompanying me Doyeonie, thank you for being such a great friend." Jennie smiled, leaning in and kissing her friend's cheek before climbing out of the car.

Jennie knocked on the door before entering, and what she saw next made her gasp sharply. There sat a familiar blonde haired woman that Jennie recognizes even from a distance away, the woman that she has been dying to see for so long.

"Rosie..." Jennie whispered to herself, watching the blonde intently as she walked closer and sit on a chair beside her.

"Good afternoon, Jennie." Dr. June Hee greeted, earning a small smile from Jennie.

Rosé seemed different, she's a little skinnier than before, a little tanner, and she looks cold and aloof. There was no trace of Jennie's Rosie on her and to be honest, if not for her familiar face, the brunette would have refused to believe that she's her wife... her Rosie.

Then again maybe she has made up her mind, and maybe, a little bit of Jennie is already prepared to accept the fact that she was no longer part of the new her.

Jennie bit the inside of her cheek and peeled her gaze off of the younger woman, focusing her attention on the doctor in front instead.

Jennie wasn't looking at her and pretending that she didn't care, that it didn't hurt. But deep down it does, she is hurting and she care to the point where Jennie can't even focus on what Dr. Bang's blabbing about. No, certainly not when Rosé's close to her.

The doctor explained a couple of things and let them engage in a rather awkward conversation, and after a few minutes of talking and whatnot, Dr. June Hee stood up, and so did the two Kims.

The middle aged woman handed Jennie a small box that contains the tape recordings of their sessions and some other stuff related to the sessions they've had.

"Thank you doctor." Jennie thanked the doctor and shook her hand for the last time before immediately leaving the room, because Jennie knew that if she stayed a little longer, she would have cried her eyes out, hurting herself even more.
